Better Than Expected!
I ordered this saw as a gift for my husband, as his Poulan Pro XL has been giving problems lately. We use wood heat, so he needed something to cut firewood through the winter and do clean-up on our property. I saw this saw and read the reviews. I was fully aware this is a Chinese made saw, but for 62cc's at just under $100, it was a deal I felt I couldn't pass up. I took a chance, but so glad I did!
My husband unboxed the saw and because of the pricing compared to the better known name brand saws, he wasn't expecting much. He thought the saw might be flimsy and cheap made. He looked it over and even though it's lighter weight, seemed to be of decent quality.
The real test came when he mixed up his fuel and fired the saw up. He said it cranked easily. In fact, he said it was the easiest of any saw he's previously owned. Then he went out and cut up several large, red oak logs. It went through them like a knife through hot butter! The saw is easy to operate and cuts like a dream! No problems with it bogging down and there is plenty of power there to tackle the bigger jobs here on the farm.
The saw does come with tools, a decent chain, mixing container etc. He is using what came with the saw temporary, until we can purchase better implements.
We do agree and will reiterate what some of the others have said.. do install a good quality spark plug, get yourself a good chain, such as an Oregon. I was told the '20 (21LPX076G) with the .325 pitch, .058 gauge & 76 drive links should fit most of the '20 Chinese made saws. Mix up a good quality 25:1 fuel and you should be good to go!
My husband is so impressed by the saw, we are thinking of ordering another one! You can't beat the price for what you get. Good luck!
